Quasi-experimental design improved osteoporosis knowledge and practices in postmenopausal women, suggesting effective risk reduction strategies.
Key Points
The risk reduction program significantly improved knowledge among postmenopausal women, with pre-program scores rising from 13.20 to 25.85 post-program.
Statistical analysis showed that the percentage of women with adequate practices to prevent osteoporosis complications increased from 7.1% pre-program to 25.4% post-program.
This quasi-experimental study included 126 women and employed various methods to evaluate knowledge and risk factors over a seven-month period.
The findings highlight the need for ongoing educational programs in outpatient clinics to further support postmenopausal women's health.
